[Quote No.14903] Need Area: Friends > General "Two brothers convicted of stealing sheep were branded on the forehead with the letters ST, for 'sheep thief'. One brother, unable to bear the stigma, tried to bury himself in a foreign land. But men asked him about the strange letters. He wandered aimlessly, and at length, full of bitterness, died and was buried in an unmarked and forgotten grave. The other brother said, 'I can't run away from the fact that I stole sheep. I will stay here and win back the respect of my neighbors and myself'. As the years passed he built a reputation for integrity. One day, a stranger saw the old man with the letters branded on his forehead. He asked a native what they signified. 'It happened a great while ago,' said the villager. 'I've forgotten the particulars; but I think the letters are as an abbreviation of Saint'." - Macartny's IllustrationsAuthor's Info on Wikipedia - Author on ebay - Author on Amazon - More Quotes by this AuthorStart Searching Amazon for GiftsSend as Free eCard with optional Google Image

[Quote No.14935] Need Area: Friends > General "Every good act is charity. Your smiling in your brother's face, is charity; and exhortation of your fellow - man to virtuous deeds, is equal to alms - giving; your putting a wanderer in the right road, is charity; your assisting the blind, is charity; your removing stones, and thorns, and other obstructions from the road, is charity; your giving water to the thirsty, is charity. A man's true wealth hereafter, is the good he does in this world to his fellow man. When he dies, people will say, 'What property has he left behind him?' But the angels will ask, 'What good deeds has he sent before him'." - Mohammed(570-632) Arabian Religionist teacher, founder of Mohammedanism
